I personally like the end caps made by Delta 3D for my GH batteries....but they cap each battery seperate so not exactly what you wanted

Or the three battery sleeve. Many like this, I thought they were a bit of a pain to open/close as its a tight fit...but they definitely will not be flopping around:

Hope this was helpful.
I will reply to you next week. Look for cases for 14650's (an odd size). I have both clamshells and test tube style cases that I bought 3/4 years ago both work well. Just don't carry the batteries "loose". I don't remember where I got them but I will check it out and let you know. One of the easy solutions is a silicone cap often sold at hardware stores to cover rods of (I'm guessing 3/8" - 1/2") just cover the nipple end and you should be good as long as the battery wrap is not damaged.Can someone recommend a battery case that will safely contain TWO spare hopper batteries? I have an extra 18650 case, but it's too large and causes the batteries to tumble out of place.

Last thing first, I feel a different effect from Hopper also. I think that it extracts faster than Mighty, even a pretty full load can be spent in just a few hits, especially with water. I find the effect is sooner and stronger, though with Mighty the effect will get there, just over a little longer period of time.Great night with the hoppers! Just some quick observations/questions.... It seems like anything less than 4 on both SS and Ti don't really produce much vapour? My wife was using it at 3.5 with water (low temp vaporist) and there was some vapour but the ABV was all GREEN.
When using them dry, even over 4, the abv also looked quite green? But when I use it on 5 it whitewalls glass and ABV gets DARK!
Do I need to slow down my draws when hitting it dry or something? I'm guessing it's technique learning curve?
After today, if I still feel the same, i'm pretty sure i'll be picking up backups for both SS and Ti!
I swear it's a different type of medication as well....much more cerebral than i'm used to with the Mighty!

I ordered the leather case and the mini scoop last week and can't wait to get them.A bunch of people are talking about cases and accessories and talking up @Ratchett for good reason. But I haven't seen a couple of his gh accessories mentioned recently so I'll add my
His leather case is custom for the gh and also has sleeves for 2 batteries and pockets for a couple other items.
He also has a mini scoop and poke (I think that's what it's called). That used with one of his stands is a dream!
I LOVE both of these (and his gh stand too)!

I believe you've been at this longer than I, and I won't swear to it, but I think that water is affecting flavor more with Hopper than with Mighty,
I do all my vaping in the 3.9 to 4.25 range on the dial and I use the tried-and-true "turn on, reach temp, draw for 5 secs, turn off, keep drawing for another 5 seconds" technique.
Am I packing too much? I fill it right up....if I tamp it lightly, the load drops a little. Coarse, medium, or fine grind? I've been using medium mostly and sometimes coarse.

I'm still working on a few more accessories for the hopper - it's still one of my favorite vapes and performed admirably over the holiday season. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm going to upgrade to a Titanium hopper in the very near futureI ordered the leather case and the mini scoop last week and can't wait to get them.
Lots of folks counsel against a full pack. Myself, I use a medium/coarse grind and never pack more than 2/3 or 3/4 - no tamping. But then, as I enter my later years I've become a bit of a lightweight and don't need more than that.
Today it's been exactly a month I have received my beautiful grasshopper. It's also the day it chose to stop working and display blue/red flashing lights. So I filed the warranty form and am now waiting for a message from them.
I'm disappointed but it's Ok as I have the nano to help me at home.
I just got this for a small portable case for when I'm skiing and on the go.

I don't want to keep a naked gh in my pocket due to lint and possibly poking a whole in my jacket.
This case is a perfect fit. And I mean perfect. The hoppers button sinks in about a half inch from the top which protects the gh from a drop. The clip also fits inside for full protection. The leather is very thick. It could definitely take a drop on a hard floor.
I also have ratchets case for when case size isn't an issue.

5 Tips And Tricks
1. Performs Best With Dry-Herbs
You'll want your herbs to be dried out, meaning all the water is removed from them. The more water that is in your plant material, the longer it will take before vaporization of the oils in the plant starts. Pack your chamber loosely. A tight pack will just make the draw resistance uncomfortable. A little pinch to a full chamber will yield great results! The Grasshopper has incredible extraction power, so don't be surprised when your session takes less time than it used to.
2. Turn the Unit On and Off
The Grasshopper has the uniquely fast heat-up of just 5 seconds. The device is designed to be turned on and off between every draw. Click the device on and take your draw right as the lights turn blue. Click the device off right at the end of your 15-20 second draw to remove all the vapor and warm air from the chamber. Repeat as desired. Leaving the device on like you would most vaporizers will result in it becoming uncomfortably hot and lead to an unpleasant experience!
3. Take Short, Frim Draws
Other vapes require a slow and steady draw that lasts between 30 and 90 seconds. This type of draw is not ideal for the Grasshopper. The Grasshopper comes equipped with a very powerful 45-watt heater, a microcontroller to monitor temperature in real-time and a very short vapor path. Its design allows for quick and easy vaporization. Your draw should be faster than with other vapes and last 15-20 seconds. Near the end of your draw, click the device off to allow for all the vapor and warm air to be cleared from the chamber.
4. Battery Life
When designing the Grasshopper, we knew to make it the world's smallest convection vaporizer we would have to make a few trade-offs. The Grasshopper contains a custom designed battery, with a very high discharge rate. The Grasshopper has the power and size necessary to make the device possible but also battery life that is shorter than with other devices. To midgate this effect, we built in a simple way to swap the battery and committed to providing easy access to cheap replacements. It's recommended to pick up at least one spare and replacing them every so often with fresh ones.
5. Extraction Power
The Grasshopper uses a powerful pure-convection heater, a short vapor path, and low thermal mass to produce the most efficient experience possible. You won't be losing out on any of the active ingredients due to build-up in a long vapor path or the inefficiencies of conduction. Be aware that you might extract all the oil from your herbs faster than you're used to but rest assured nothing will be wasted!
It's like watching the mothership land in Close Encounters!!Woke up with an itch for something a little different today . . . . so after a bit of a rummage around the house, this is my sparkling sunny Sunday morning vapor combo . . . .
And what a way to start the day!
SCShred filled to the brim, tap to settle, max power on the dial & chocks away!
With the high temp setting plus that much diffusion I'm not looking for flavour - but when you're cruising at these high altitudes the beautiful clouds & heady effects come thick & fast
GHL-1 you are cleared for take-off . . . .

Haha abduction & probes never felt so good!It's like watching the mothership land in Close Encounters!!
